Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He is coming round the corner in a green-and-yellow Ford
He has one hand on the throttle and the other on a bottle
Of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer!
Glory, Glory sock it to yah!
Teacher hit me with a ruler!
I bonked her on the bean with a rotten tangerine
And she kicked me out of school!
Love me tender, love me true; Elvis Presley is a ju!
(I didn’t know how to spell that last word or what it meant. I just repeated it from my older brother when he sang these lines. Our Dad heard me sing it and said, “Don’t say that–you’ll insult the Jews.”
These were verses I wrote myself:
*Last night as I lay on my pillow
I lay on my pillow last night
I reached in the dark for some bug spray
Next morning the bedroom was white!
Bring back, bring back, bring back my beige walls to me, to me…
Last night as I lay on my pillow
A gas main blew out under me
I heard a trerrific explosion
And landed outside in a tree!
Bring back, bring back, bring back my bedroom to me, to me…
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night when I lay all alone
I dreamt that I ate a marshmallow
Next morning my pillow was gone!
Bring back, bring back, bring back my pillow to me, to me…
Last night I programmed my computer
A thunderstorm started outside
A lightning bolt hit the main cable
Now all of my floppies are fried!
Bring back, bring back, bring back my software to me, to me…
Next door to me lives a young mother
Whose kids always get in her hair
Her four-year-old son found the scissors
And now her posterior’s bare!
Bring back, bring back, bring back my panties to me, to me…
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea;
But while she lies over the ocean,
She isn’t here lying to me!*
